Hello and welcome to Off the Bench. It's been a blistering start to double game week.

Big wins for single game week teams like City and Arsenal, but double game week players all delivering two like Newcastle, Brighton and even West Ham.

This week, you're joined by myself as and Andy from Fantasy Football Scout.

Andy, how are you?

I'm very good, mate. Thank you. How are you? I'm very good. I'm having a decent game week for a change. I've gone up 100,000 places up to the lofty heights of 271,000, 80 points, but took a hit. So technically 76, but 13 players left to play at the time of recording. So I am hopeful of a decent green arrow for a change.

But once in my season, I might actually have a good game week.

How are you getting on?

Yeah, not too bad.

I'm on about 79.

I took a hit as well.

The hit hasn't kind of come off yet,

but hopefully it will by the end with all the double game week still to come.

I have gone from around 70K to around 45K, so I'm quite happy with that. So if I can stay within the top

50K, by the end of this week, I think I've done all right. But yeah, I did Captain Matoma over

Rashford and that can still come back to haunt me yet, so we'll see how it goes. It's been, I think like a lot of us predicted, it's been a bit of a polarising week, hasn't it? I've seen some scores from some people down in kind of the 30s who

maybe didn't invest too heavily in the double game week. I've seen some, you know, up in the 90s as

well. And obviously there's a lot of games left to play. So we kind of thought this would be a bit of a season-defining week and it looks like

it's on course to do that and the next few days are going to be absolutely crucial. So nervy times.

Double game which can be like this though, can't they? Like this happened before with Brighton

where they didn't perform in the first game and then they did in the second game, same with

Brentford. Whereas this time round, obviously, United's really tough fixture was against Newcastle,

and they've gone through that and lost 2-0, but then they've got a nice fixture coming up next.
